Genome size changes by duplication, insertion and divergence in Caenorhabditis worms

This study investigates genome size variation in Caenorhabditis nematodes and finds that genome evolution occurs through small structural variants rather than deletions or transposable element dynamics.

Slow recovery from inbreeding depression generated by the complex genetic architecture of segregating deleterious mutations

This study investigates recovery from inbreeding depression in C. remanei, finding limited fitness recovery despite strong selection, due to the fixation of many segregating deleterious mutations.
